4 credits
Why are some literary works successfully adapted to a film or television format, and not others? In this course, we will read from diverse short stories, novels, and works of nonfiction to understand the narrative mechanics that make a work of literature particularly suited for cinematic expression. Through short exercises and a longer workshopped narrative, students will practice a variety of concepts as they work toward an end-of-semester portfolio of creative work.
